Answer:
less than 1 1/2 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2, so the sum of the three cans is more than 1 by the difference between 1/5 and 1/6. That difference is 1/30 gallon. The sum is 1 1/30 gallons, which is less than 1 1/2 gallons.
__
A suitable common denominator is 2·3·5 = 30. Then the sum of the fractions is ...
1/3 + 1/5 + 1/2
= 10/30 + 6/30 + 15/30
= 31/30 = 1 1/30 . . . . . less than 1 1/2
In decimal, 1/3 ≈ 0.333, 1/5 = 0.200, 1/2 = 0.500, so the sum is ...
0.333 +0.200 +0.500 = 1.033
which is less than 1.5.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: A(x) = 15 ft + 2x
EXPLANATION
Given,
The dimension of the rectangular garden is 20 ft by 15 ft.
Dimension of a rectangle is written as Length by Width
This implies that,
Length of the garden = 20 ft
Width of the garden = 15 ft
The garden has a walk around it of width x.
The combined width of the garden = Width of garden + 2x
[we are adding twice the width of the walk because it is
around the garden (this means it will add to the width of the garden on both the left and right sides)]
Combined width of the garden, A(x) = Width of garden + 2x
Since width of the garden = 15 ft
A(x) = 15 ft + 2x
Answer:
x=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
(4)(2) + 4x = -4
multiply the 4 and 2
8 + 4x = -4
subtract 8 from both sides
4x = -12
divide both sides by 4
x = -3
